About Anna

Anna Wright helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression and life changes. She works in a person-centred way and draws on other methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment ideas. Anna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of counselling experience.

She speaks plainly in sessions and invites people to shape what they want to work on. The emphasis is on helping the client name problems, understand them more clearly and try practical ways to manage them. Anna uses listening, reflection and question-based techniques to support this process.

Her background includes several years of practical work supporting people facing adversity, alongside academic study in psychology and social work. That combination informs how she approaches problems linked to illness, caregiving, work stress and loss. She aims to help people feel more able to make choices and find steps forward.

Anna uses cognitive behavioural strategies when useful to identify thinking and behaviour patterns connected to anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at relationship patterns and intimacy issues. Motivational interviewing principles can be brought in when people want support with change such as recovery from addiction or behaviour change.

She has experience supporting a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, career stress, ADHD-related difficulties and body image problems. Sessions are conducted in English and for people based in the United Kingdom.

How Anna uses approaches in remote counselling

Anna combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural and attachment-informed ideas. Person-centred counselling focuses on the client’s own perspective, encouraging them to identify problems and decide what to work on. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and practise small changes to reduce symptoms. Attachment-based ideas explore patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current intimacy and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss options with each person and agree which methods to try based on their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. This is a collaborative process and may change as the work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins or reduce the need to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help people maintain continuity of care while managing everyday commitments.
